The game runs at 30 FPS with a slight downgrade of the graphics, however it remains true to the arcade game. These trading cards range from character profiles, unlockables such as bonus music, or parts to upgrade or customize your car. Trading cards are acquired whenever a race is finished, regardless of the outcome (except when the player quits). The most significant one is the point system which has been replaced with a trading card based system.
This game is a port of Initial D Arcade Stage 3 with some features that separate it from its arcade counterpart.
